thermit

...The development of such surface treatment technology is also promoting the expansion of applications. When a mixture of aluminum powder and iron oxide Fe2O3 powder (thermit) is ignited, the aluminum is oxidized and the iron oxide is reduced to iron, and the high heat generated in this process is used for welding iron (thermit welding). This chemical activity of aluminum is also used in the thermite process, a metallurgical method in which oxides of chromium, manganese, vanadium, etc. are reduced to obtain metals.
